mama mondays: a walk ’round indy
It’s not like me to be in a new place and not do a little exploring. But on the last day of my recent trip to Indianapolis, I realized I really had not seen the place. Going somewhere and staying indoors the whole time is like visiting a new friend and hanging out in a [...]

faith fridays: the gift of lisa hendey in indy
Earlier this week, the clouds accompanied me on a journey to Indianapolis, where I have been taking in the 2012 Catholic Media Conference.

faith fridays: can beauty save the world?
I’d been hemming and hawing over whether to use the Kindle I bought back in January. I’m a fan of the old way, of turning pages and flipping around, creating dog ears through bent paper, highlights from ink. But not long ago, the title of a book caught my attention — Beauty Will Save the [...]

mama mondays: summer!
Oh, it was a lovely weekend. Not going to ruin it with too many words. To put it into context, though, we went to Daddy Troy’s hometown to take part in the “Take A Kid Fishing” Day event, and had some nice times in the great outdoors with the cousins. To us, all this said, [...]
